Mikro Systems, Inc., proposes a 3-year project to accelerate the commercialization of its advanced TomoLithographic-Molding (TOMO) core production process though a complete development cycle for two distinct Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle (IGCC) Row 1 turbine blades with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partner - Siemens Energy. While Mikro?s Commercialization Plan is for core production, the Phase III project would go from design through manufacture of ?test set? blade quantities with TOMO cores. The goal is existing Row 1 blades for the Siemens SGT5-4000F engine and a replacement for this same blade with advanced cooling features.
